Confidence is a belief in myself and my ability. I built my confidence through hard training. I believed there was no one out there working any harder than me.

There will always be something to strive for. My hope is for the heart to strive forever.

Coffee doesn't do it for me; it's running that gets me going.

Every time I fail I assume I will be a stronger person for it.

Recognize your victories.

You can't depend on other people, you have to run your own race.

When I first started running, I was so embarrassed I'd walk when cars passed me. I'd pretend I was looking at the flowers!
